If you look at the overview of the controls at the same time, you’ll be able to quickly familiarize yourself with your mixing console and you’ll soon be making the most of all its many possibilities. 2. CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTORS This chapter describes the various control elements of your mixing console. All controls, switches and connectors will be discussed in detail. 2.1 Mono channels 2.1.1 Microphone and line inputs 1.3 Before you get started 1.3.1 Shipment Your mixing console was carefully packed in the factory to guarantee safe transport.

Fig. 2.1: Connectors and controls of mic/line inputs MIC Each mono input channel offers a balanced microphone input via XLR as well as switchable phantom power (+48 volt) for powering condenser microphones. + Please mute your monitor system before you switch on phantom power. Otherwise potentially damaging thumps will be sent to your speakers. Please also note the instructions in chapter 5.5 “Voltage supply, phantom power and fuse”. LINE IN Each mono input also has a balanced line input on a 1/4" jack. You can also connect unbalanced devices using mono jacks to these inputs. + Please remember that you can use either the microphone input or the line input of a channel, but not both at the same time! INSERT Insert points enable the processing of a signal with dynamic processors or equalizers. They are sourced pre-fader, pre-EQ and pre-aux send. Detailed information on using insert points can be found in chapter 5.3. + Unlike the UB2442FX-PRO, the UB1622FX-PRO, UB1832FX-PRO and UB2222FX-PRO have their insert points located on the rear of the console. TRIM Use the TRIM control to adjust the input gain. This control should always be turned fully counter-clockwise whenever you connect or disconnect a signal source to one of the inputs. The scale has 2 different value ranges: the first value range (+10 to +60 dB) refers to the MIC input and shows the amplification for the signals fed in there. 2. CONTROL ELEMENTS AND CONNECTORS 5
